TRUTH WILL PREVAIL,

Famous as he was, Gen. Lord Wolse-
ley recently walked to find himself
famous indeed, and in rather peculiar
way.
An article in Macmil!an's Naga-
zine for March, embodying his judg-
ment of a cause and a character, has
raised such storm Of holy indigna-
ton and villifying criticism that only
truth would be unabashed.
The spirit of the New South, view
ing all this and more, desires not TO
adopt the cavilling practice Of the
bloody-shirt faction of the North and =,
detail by detail, reargue each argu.
ment, and fight each well-fought field
again; but, cherishing the past as a
common heritage, pressing onward in
the present, and looking to a glorious
future, she still can not fail to feel the
injustice, hatred and malice that ami
mate many criticisms Of Wolsely and
his companion critics, whose name,
amongst the unprejudiced, is legion !;
and while the sentiments lately eX-
pressed by II. w. Grady and r. S.
Wilkinson are hers in truth and sin
cerity, still she rejoices hat WoIseley's
and other similar judgments, from like
able and impartial sources, are the be-
ginning of the work of the slow but
sure Muse of History that will do JUS
tice to her, her cause, and her heroes
that malice can not always perver: the
truth, nor hatred always obscure the
light.
| Viewing and reviewing the past
much food for thought may be found
and, amongst the meditations Of the
South, are the following:
Suppose Gen. Lord Wolstley had
been au hundred times more inaccu
rate in minor details, but that hi:
critique had been as favorable to tht
North and Sherman as it was to The
South and Lee, would the virulen
faction of the North have raised suci
a storm of opprobrium All the pas
echoes No! Would Gen. Sherman

diced judgment of the world, both
great causes with their grand results,
joining hands with their liberal minded
brethren who do not forget the homely
adaGes, .there are two sides to every

pace with her, will march onward un-

When Sable Phillis gin 10 Groom,
And pigeons nod upon the tower;
Black Tom, beneath the spreding tree
That shades the pleasant farm house yard,
Looks out across the shimmering loa.
And blows the bugle loud aud hard.
Blow, bugle! let the echoes float
The fields and woodland opes along,
Till every wild but mellow note
Bursts on the distant hills i'll song.
Sound thro' the valleys, cool and green,
Where tinkling brooklets purl and creep;
Sound where the nodding flowers arc seen,
And wake the poppy from its sleep!
Where wave the yellow field of wheat,
Where plow-boys drive their sweating
teams,
Send out thy notes prolonged and sweet.
The lab'rer casts aside his hoe,
The horse delighted gins to neigh;
What says the buale, we'll they kno%,
Although it speaks a milo away.
"Come to the cool and dripping VOL,
And at its messy curbstone kneel,
And lave thy sweaty face spell,
And eat the simple MONDAY meal.
There's cider form the oaken press,
Hid in the cellar dark and old;
There's many a sweet you cannot guess,
There's tempting cream the hue OF gold,''
Sing busle, sing with all thy power!
And let thy last note be the best;
Thou hast announced tho golden hour,
Tho mondays hour of drowsy rest.
o, bugle of the good old days,
Forever silent in the South,
Poor Tom has grown too weak to raise
Unto his lips thy mellow mouth.
No darkey OF the younger brood,
Tho should blow his lungs away,
Can send afloat, DER field and wood,
The notes that he was wont to play.
The songs tho red-lipped maiden sing
Along my pulses bound and thrill
They charm, but no such pictures bring
AS that old bugle on the hill.
seem again with blushing Juno
TO stand amid the fields OF corn,
Whene'er, thro' languid airs of noon,
hear The distant bugle horn.
And, oh, sigh tor boyhood's time,
For our old homestead on the hill.
And for the drowsy croning rhyme
Sung by tho busy water MILL
The cherry's blood was richer then
The peach was of a deeper hue.
And have wondered if again
The skies can ever be so blue.
Alb, could be again 4 boy,
And could be where l was born,
Hd kiss thy lips with reveront joy,
And hug thee, battered buglo horn.

THE SIGNS OF THE TINES.
[Robeline Reporter. |


What does it mean? On every hand
we hear Mt home and abroad good Nc,
Emery men and good Nichols men say,
most positively, that the factional war
has gone too far, that 1t now behooves
good Democrats to beat them both, and
express themselves by saying they are
ready and willing to vote against both.
Friends, Democrats, countrymeD, are
awakening on every side. Six weeks
ago Gov. McEnery or Gov. Nichols
might have received the nomination
but that day is-yea the hour-has
passed, end Il third man Is the cry,
while the rank and file of the Democ-
racy are gathering like faithful, indus.
trious and honest bees around the pure
and refreshing odor of returning peace
and love, with unity OF purpose and
action. Then let the (so-cailed) indie
pendent press, headed by the States
and Item of New Orleans, and numer-
Gus other papers throughout the State
tip the scales for higher, progressive
standard of Democracy.

The question was asked some time
since at a meeting of the Academy OF
Sciences of this city: Why are our
citizens who arc descended from the
French so much more devoted lC
France than the descendants OF Ger
mans to Germany, etc.? No answer
was at the time given to the question
and a discussion on the subject would
be instructive and interesting.
That the CreOles Of Louisiana have
All enthusiastic love for la belle France
is too patent to require any argument
IN support of the assertion. 1t is ma.
tural that there should be sympathy
with the mother country, such for in.
stance as the descendants of the En-.
glish, distinctly called Americans,
have for England when that country Is
in conflict with other nations. But an
American could listen to good deal
of abuse of England without taking 1t
very much to heart, or wanting to
fight about II. Is 1t so with Creole In
regard to France?
Neither do citizens Of German des-
cent appear to be specially devoted to
the Eatherland. Even Germans natura
lized in this country become quickly
attached to its soil and lose their for
eign identity. One man was speak ing
to another about the German senti-
ment in this country. Ths other re-
piled: "German sentiment ! Pick out
five Germans, and will show you
five German sentiments"
The descendants of the French dc
not seem to have any special reason
for their extraordinary love of the
mother country; for France traded of
her Louisiana colonists twice: sold
them to Spain took them back again,
and then sold them to the United
than the Creoles to be grateful to
France, for the remembrance of the in
estilnabIe services rendered by the
French in tho war for independence
should keep alive a more than kindly
feeling for our gallant allies of the rev.
olution.
1t is probable that the retention OF
the French language Is the chief factor
in keeping alive among tho Creoles an
ardent love for France. The English
tongue is making rapid encroachments,
and probably before many years have
passed, will be more common than the
French below Canal street. The sent-
lnent that has just been consider ed will
then, no doubt, be materially weak
ened, if not entirely eliminated. In
the mean time II would be interesting
for ethnologists 10 give US their ideas
on the subject ~. o. City Item.

What a remarkable man Is Jefferson
Davis! He has lived to witness the
death Of nearly all OF his contempora-
ries under the old government, and
has seen large majority of his ira
ducers consigned to the grave, and yet
he lives on and not only does not lag
superiluous on the stage, but retains 10
wonderful degree the brilliant and
vigorous intellect which has charactc-
rized his remarkable career. When
ever proper occasion offers he is
heard from, and when he has put in
his blow he retires gracefully until
another call is made upon him. His
latest speech to the Southern boys was
| to the effect that we are now in tho
Union, and the next time it is broken
the attempt must be made from another
quarter. A sentiment which has beer
crystaIized in the Southern heart, ant
strange as it may appear, yet it is 1
fact that tue strongest friends Of tn,
American Union to-day are found il
the Southern States.-Er.
